Abstract

The present invention discloses a variable-field motion detector having access to a plurality of video fields of an interlaced video signal for detecting a motion situation of an image area in the interlaced video signal. The variable-field motion detector includes: a plurality of pixel difference circuits each for computing a detection value according to the difference between the pixel values of a single pixel in two different video fields; a decision circuit coupled to the pixel difference circuits for determining the motion situation of the image area according to the detection values; and a field-number adjuster for adjusting the pixel difference circuits and/or the decision circuit to eliminate the effect of some video fields according to a detection number.
